Note that the praise was not especially earnest.

    I mean, he’s quite well educated. That’s just another example of how legacy systems are fucking terrible.

      Attending prestigious does not inherently make him well educated. Especially when one of the professors says you are, and I quote, “the dumbest goddamn student I ever had”.

        “Well educated” in the sense that he got an education in prestigious places, not that he was a good student. The worst doctor to come out of Johns Hopkins is not going to be a good doctor because of it.

        It does in fact make him “well educated.” He’s not smart, learned, well-read, or thoughtful. It’s just a fact, it’s not something that can be debated. No one with a community college degree will ever be well educated and no one with an Ivy League degree will ever not be well educated.
